Chromenes involving a two-photon absorbing moiety: photochromism via intramolecular resonance energy transfer
نویسندگان
چکیده
New derivatives involving the photochromic 2H-benzo[h]chromene moieties covalently linked to the 2,7-bis(carbazolyl)fluorene-derived two-photon absorbing moiety were designed to enable the possibility of resonance energy transfer from the fluorene donor to the photochromic acceptor. The longest wavelength absorption of the photochromic acceptors overlaps with the fluorescence band of the two-photon absorbing donor and the distance between the both moieties is about 5–7 Å. Rapid coloration of colorless solutions was observed upon oneand two-photon absorption.

Fluorescence resonance energy transfer in a novel two-photon absorbing system.
A novel fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) system containing a two-photon absorbing dye and a nile red chromophore has been synthesized. Upon two-photon excitation by laser at 815 nm this molecule displays efficient energy transfer from the two-photon absorbing dye to the nile red moiety, with an 8-fold increase in emission compared to the model compound. Similarly, single-photon exc...
متن کاملNonlinear solid-state filter based on photochromism induced by 2-photon absorption in a dye-doped sol-gel
There is much interest in enhancement of the absorbance performance of nonlinear absorber solid-state filters. In this work we present an advanced reversible nonlinear filter based on a dye-doped sol-gel matrix. The absorbance enhancement was achieved by using a combination of two absorption mechanisms in the same molecule; a photochromic absorption which is induced by 2-photon absorption (2PA)...

متن کاملEnergy and electron transfer in enhanced two-photon-absorbing systems with triplet cores.
Enhanced two-photon-absorbing (2PA) systems with triplet cores are currently under scrutiny for several biomedical applications, including photodynamic therapy (PDT) and two-photon microscopy of oxygen. The performance of so far developed molecules, however, is substantially below expected. In this study we take a detailed look at the processes occurring in these systems and propose ways to imp...

The photoswitchable boron-dipyrromethene-dithienylethene molecular dyad is introduced as a prototype for the efficient fluorescence intensity modulation on the molecular level. The functionality of the system is based on the photochromism of the dithienylethene, which facilitates an efficient on- and off-switching of a Förster-type intramolecular energy transfer between the photoexcited BODIPY ...
